In-line spinner lure with ring, dish, body/weight and hook

In terms of sport fishing, a lure is an object attached to the end of the fishing line and designed to resemble and move like an item of fish prey. Lures are equipped with one or more single,double, or treble hooks that are used to hook fish when they attack the lure. Motion is imparted to lures by winding line back on to a reel, by sweeping, jigging movements with a fishing rod, or by being pulled behind a moving boat ("trolling"). An exception is fly lures, commonly called "flies" by fishermen, which either float on the water surface, slowly sink or float underwater, and are based on real behavior of insect being resembled.
